VoiceThread is a project that I would definitely like to implement in my future classroom. Even in a kindergarten classroom, I believe that this can be used (depending on the students, of course). While it may be used as something where students partner up to make drawings and each write a sentence for it rather than groups of students working together to create something, it can still be used. I could use it as an end goal of a project for a science unit or as an evaluation to see how much students learned in a unit of math. Of course, in the older grades it would work much better because the students could come up with stories of their own and work in groups to make them come to life. Though I would prefer to teach kindergarten, if I ended up teaching another grade, this would absolutely be something that I use.
I thought that VoiceThread was very easy to use. The majority of the troubles that I had with VoiceThread were actually because of outside forces and not the program. Once I got everything worked out, I really enjoyed how VoiceThread worked and how I was able to make something I had created come alive. The way that the program allows you to record multiple voices for the program and include various pictures and documents.
As I said earlier, I really didn't have any trouble with the program. The "How To" VoiceThread that the program offers was extremely helpful, but I wish it had touched on a couple of other things - such as the privacy of your VoiceThread. None of it took long to figure out and the site is really user friendly. Overall, I found VoiceThread to be a really fun and exciting program to use to allow my imagination run wild even more than normal. I cannot wait to use this in my classroom if I can!
